Planet of the Taxonomists

The website of the International Institute for Species Exploration says that its mission
is to inspire, encourage and enable the advancement of taxonomy and exploration of earth’s species. The IISE represents a convergence of cutting-edge computer science and engineering with the goals of descriptive taxonomy. The results will include a transformation of taxonomy, the rapid discovery of earth’s species, and open access to reliable information about them.

The Annotated Budak has the fun version.
